At this year's 2016 ASID Awards, Hawaii's best and brightest interior designers gathered at the Pacific Club to honor the year's best projects. The quality of this year's entries were as high as ever, a testament to Hawaii's burgeoning interior design industry.

Hotel Wailea, a luxurious getaway recently refreshed by Philpotts Interiors, was named by Architectural Digest as one of the "5 Best Designed Hotels on Maui."

"Spread across 15 acres high above the Pacific, the Hotel Wailea is a totally different Maui resort experience. As an adults-only property, it's ideal for honeymooners, groups of friends, or couples looking for quiet serenity and the fact that it’s not directly on the beach may at first sound like a negative, but in actuality, it only adds to the sense of calm, removed as it is from the throngs of tourists who want to hit the water all day. An entire day can easily be spent by the swimming pool, which was completely redone (along with the rest of the hotel, including its 72 one-bedroom suites) in 2014 with huge modern cabanas."

Philpotts Interiors is honored to announce our senior designer Holly Boling Ruiz was nominated by Theremador’s top dealers in Hawaii and the Pacific Rim to participate in Thermador’s special Design Council that was formed just three years ago. This council gives their input and recommendations on Thermador’s new product designs and brand. The design counsel includes industry leaders from America, Germany and Turkey. Thermador has named 2013 the “Year of the Designer”.

The council took two-and-a-half days of intense brainstorming to review prototypes and design ideas for their 2015-2016 products. Council members were asked to comment on all design and parts of their appliances. You may view the profile of the council members at Thermador’s website.
